"Naturally, I have to think about it." Li Liang didn't speak, just looked at Xue Ju, he believed that Xue Ju would make the right choice, because this was an excellent opportunity, the best opportunity to put Li Xin in the Western Regions and starve him to death in the Western Regions, so to speak, the opportunity could be done without much effort. Even if there is no Xue Ju, Li Liang can do it himself.

And at this moment, the Deputy Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Yu Wenshi and sitting in the living room, Pei Shiju personally accompanied, his face was old and peaceful, it can be said that he is now living very comfortably in the Western Regions, Li Xin let himself be subjective in political affairs, and with the help of Du Ruhui and others in political affairs, he lived a very easy life.

"Master Pei, there is a good thing to come here today, the lower officials are here to congratulate Master Pei first." Yu Wenshi said with a smile.

"I don't know where this joy comes from, could it be that the emperor is preparing to let me return to Beijing?" Countless thoughts instantly turned in Pei Shiju's mind, this Yuwen Shi and the Daoxi he said, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, he is in the northwest, where is there anything good, even in Wenxi County, among his own family, there are many voices.

"Tang Guogong heard that Mr. Pei has a granddaughter, who was born with a beautiful country, and wants to marry the boss." Yu Wenshi and arched his hand and said: "The second son of the Li family has a heavenly watch, the posture of a dragon and a phoenix, and a superb demeanor, I guess the old man has also heard of it, I don't know what the old man thinks?" ”

"But that talent for helping the world and the people?" Pei Shiju's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but speak: "The second son can be praised like this." Pei Shiju once met Li Shimin, and his impression of Li Shimin was quite good, but this was just an impression.

"The old man agreed?" Yu Wenshi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask.

"No, no, the second son has a heavenly appearance, which is not something that ordinary people can match, although Pei's is a little beautiful. But it is worthy of you as the son of the Li family. Although Pei Shiju admires Li Shimin, he knows what kind of things will happen to him once he marries Li Shimin, Pei Shiju is still very clear, Li Xin's eyes can't tolerate sand, especially with the Li family, this is even more impossible.

"Master Pei, don't refuse so quickly?" Yu Wenshi smiled and said, "In the world, anything is possible, maybe not long. Master Pei will definitely agree. ”

Pei Shiju laughed for a while, pointed at Yu Wenshi and said, "Benevolence! The northwest wind and sand are too big, day and night are different, this place is not something like your body can stay. ”

"Xiaguan will return to Beijing in a few days." Yu Wenshi hurriedly said: "I have to say that Lanzhou has a tendency to prosper under the governance of the boss, although it is not as good as Daxing and Luoyang, but it is much better than other places!" ”

"It's all the work of the Grand Duke. The old man is just a knife and pencil officer. Pei Shiju laughed and said, but there was more self-satisfaction between his eyebrows, although the development of Lanzhou was completed under the guidance of Li Xin's general direction, but it was also the credit of Pei Shiju, Du Ruhui and others. The market was prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and Li Jing's army was full of fine food and swept across the entire northwest. As a result, Li Xin's various policies gradually penetrated into various parts of the northwest, and Pei Shiju had a certain amount of credit.

"On the way to the northwest, Xia Guan found that there was a lot of grain and grass coming to the northwest!" Suddenly. Yu Wenshi looked at Pei Shiju with a smile and said, "Is there really a shortage of food in the northwest?" "This Yu Wenshi almost said that Li Xin wanted to do what he wanted to do with so much grain and grass. It's a pity that he met Pei Shiju.

"There is a shortage of food in the northwest." Pei Shiju nodded without thinking about it, and said: "Not to mention the northwest, there is very little food in itself, most of the governors go to the Western Regions, and the grain is thousands of miles away, which is very difficult, and many people in the Central Plains move to the northwest, and it takes a lot of grain and grass to settle these people." To tell the truth, in order to prevent the people under the rule of the Western Regions Protectorate from starving to death, the Metropolitan Governor has exhausted everything, and now the treasury of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion can run mice. The imperial court did not pay much money to the northwest, and most of them were done by the governor alone. "What Pei Shiju said is a half-truth and half a falsehood, the Western Regions has invested a lot, but it may not have no income, and it may not really reach the realm of running rats in the treasury, Li Xin's gold hand is one aspect, and more is the plunder of Li Jing and others, some tribes who disobey the Western Regions Protectorate were all killed, and all the money fell into the hands of the Protectorate, and the Protectorate of the Western Regions could barely support it.

"And such a thing?" Yu Wenshi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Xin to do these things for the Western Regions Protectorate, and what he didn't expect was that Pei Shiju seemed to appreciate Li Xin very much, which made him feel bad, which made him report to Yang Guang after he went back, could it be that Li Xin's own money subsidized the operation of the Western Regions Protectorate? Is this also an act of bribing the hearts of the military? Yu Wenshi and his heart was a little uneasy.

"Lord Yuwen, I heard that the emperor is going to inspect Saibei next year? I don't know if I'll come to Lanzhou? Pei Shiju suddenly asked.

"The emperor's thoughts, how can the courtiers guess." Yu Wenshi rolled his eyes, and suddenly said: "I don't know if the soldiers created by Lanzhou are also part of the Lanzhou soldiers and horses?" ”

"That's not, that's the samurai hired by the merchants of Lanzhou in order to protect the trade routes, and these samurai must accept the leadership of the imperial court, and accept the training of the generals appointed by the Western Regions Protectorate, and when necessary, they must also fight with the army. It's just that their deposits are paid by merchants in Lanzhou. This matter has nothing to do with the Metropolitan Governor's Office. Pei Shiju secretly glanced at Yu Wenshi, this Yuwen Shi and really did not come well, and said: "The discipline of the Western Army is strict, but these mercenaries are extremely lazy and unruly, how can such an army be included in the sequence of my Western Army?" It's just that the Metropolitan Governor is worried that this guy will run rampant in the market and gather together to deal with the traders along the way, so he will turn harm into profit, and he only let some soldiers go to teach them training on weekdays. ”

Yu Wenshi nodded, his face was still full of smiles, but what he thought in his heart, it was unknown.

"I heard that Princess Nanyang is coming to Lanzhou soon?" Pei Shiju suddenly smiled and said, "Benevolence! It seems that the princess misses you very much! I've come all the way to you. ”

Yuwenshi's face is not good-looking, whether Princess Nanyang came to look for him or not, only he knows the inside story.

"I'm afraid this old fox knows something, it's really hateful." Yu Wenshi knew that his arrival made the entire Lanzhou officialdom actually have a hostile attitude towards him, after all, he was ordered by Yang Guang to investigate Li Xin.

"Xia Guan has been in Lanzhou for a long time, I'm afraid he will return to the court soon." Yu Wenshi and finally sighed, Li Xin is not in the Western Regions, all the Yiqiē is not under the guidance of Li Xin, there is the cover of Pei Shiju, the old fox, even if there is really something weird, I am afraid that it has long been covered up by Pei Shiju, and it is almost impossible to find out what he wants.

"It's so good, on the day of departure, the old man will personally see off the benevolent people." Pei Shiju showed a happy look and said to Yu Wenshi.

"In that case, the lower official will leave first." Yu Wenshi arched his hand towards Pei Shiju and said, Pei Shiju also smiled and personally sent him out of the gate.

"Li Xin really has some ability, so that this old fox can cover up for him so desperately." After Yu Wenshi left Pei's Mansion, he looked at the plaque on Pei's Mansion, shook his head and said softly. Li Xin secretly hoarded grain and grass Yu Wenshi also knew, but Li Xin's excuse was too good, Lanzhou's immigrants are gradually increasing, and various policies have also made the pressure on these immigrants much less, and the same way, the pressure on the Governor's Mansion will increase a lot, and a lot of money and food are needed to support the development of Lanzhou, but Yu Wenshi always feels that something is wrong.

"My lord, there will be something to report to your lordship."

At this time, a big man in green clothes suddenly appeared next to him, bowing his head, and hurriedly walked past him. After Yu Wenshi gave the order, he couldn't wait to follow the big man in Tsing Yi in front of him to walk around the downtown area, and soon turned to a secluded house, he hesitated for a while, and immediately followed.

"I know you, you are Lanzhou Yingyanglang General Xue Ju." Yu Wenshi looked at the strong man in front of him and said, "I don't know what General Xue is looking for me?" It's not like you're thinking about transferring out of Lanzhou! ”

"Lord Yuwen, there will be a big news in the end to inform General Sù Yuwen that Li Liang of Liangzhou is preparing to cut off the grain road of the Dadu Governor, so that the Dadu Governor will be trapped in the Western Regions, and my 60,000 army will be lost." Xue Ju said in a low voice: "The last general doesn't know the truth of the matter, and he doesn't dare to tell Lord Sù Pei, so I ask Lord Yuwen to call the shots." ”

"And such a thing?" After hearing this, Yu Wenshi's face was stunned, and he looked at Xue Ju and said, "How did you know about this?" Could it be that Li Liang sued you? ”

"Exactly." Xue Ju hesitated for a while and said, "It's just that the last general doesn't know what the truth of the matter is, so I implore Lord Yuwen to call the shots." ”

"Yes, you're smart." Yu Wenshi said softly: "It's just that I heard that Li Liang has done a lot of good deeds in Liangzhou, such a person is also loyal to the Great Sui, and the Marquis of Shouyang is the governor of the imperial court, how could he cut off the grain of the governor?" These things are the grave sin of murder, and you must not talk nonsense without evidence, you know? Yu Wenshi's eyes showed a fierce light and looked at Xue Ju.

Xue Ju's face changed, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said: "It's the last general who is reckless, he shouldn't frame his colleagues, the last general is guilty." (To be continued......)
